Abstract

In this work, a transient model for a conveyor dryer used in gelatin drying is made through mass and energy balances, being initially considered three hypotheses for the equilibrium isotherm and two for the drying rate. The option about these equations was done through the model´s fitness to typical operation values with the main process variables measured coming with a small portion of gelatin. An experiment done to get the drying curve suggests the gelatin drying happens in only one phase. As a result, the model uses the Henderson´s isotherm and a single phase expression for the drying rate. Model simulation´s results at process conditions show it is able to represent the main trends of process.
